The ToePro foot exercise platform has been designed to improve performance by strengthening muscles of the foot and leg in their lengthened positions. Compared to conventional exercises, exercising lengthened muscles produces nearly fourfold increases in strength.

Increasing toe and arch strength is important for injuries like plantar fasciitis, metatarsal stress fractures, and bunions, which are strongly correlated with toe weakness.

The ToePro Foot Exercise Device is also useful for the prevention of falls in the elderly: every 1% increase in force generated beneath the big toe decreases a senior's risk of falling by 7%.

HumanLocomotion.com provides books and articles written by Dr. Tom Michaud, as well as clinical tools and rehab products for state-of-the-art management of gait-related disorders.

Human Locomotion, a technical book written for sports medicine professionals, is available on Amazon.com. Currently translated into Korean and Japanese, and in 2021 will be published in Russian, Chinese, and Dutch. Students can purchase the book at a discounted price by contacting us through the "contact us" page.

Injury-Free Running is for serious runners interested in treating and preventing running injuries. The second edition, published by Lotus in Europe and North Atlantic in the United States, will be available in June in the US. Scroll down for more information.

The biomechanical measuring devices are made from anodized aluminum with dovetail joints machined to 1000th of an inch accuracy. Our products include the ToePro Foot/Ankle Exercise Platform, the ToePro/Hip Strength Dynamometer, The Two-To-One Ankle Rockboard, and the Triple Stick Strap.

Each product has a video link demonstrating it's use, and in the future we will be adding new videos of exercises recommended by Dr. Michaud.

New self-stick posts attach directly to the bottom of an insole and have been proven to improve alignment and alter motion in the foot, ankle, knee and hip. Great for managing plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and even reducing valgus collapse of the knee.

Interdigital neuromas are common, poorly studied, and notoriously difficult to treat. By offloading the third and fourth metatarsal heads throughout propulsion, the new Peel and Stick interdigital neuroma balance allows you to effectively treat interdigital neuromas, usually without the need for surgery and/or expensive orthotics.

NOTE: EXACT PLACEMENT of this balance is essential for treatment success and should be performed by a healthcare professional.

In this new video, Dr. Michaud reviews the biomechanical assessment of an injured athlete. The first 45 minutes of the video reviews the physical exam. The final 10 minutes of the video provides an in-depth gait analysis with crucial measurements necessary to improve performance and prevent injury.

Pair this clever device with the ToePro to precisely monitor toe strength results. Place the card beneath the patients/athletes toes and pull slowly as they try to hold the card down. The dynamometer has a peak hold setting for a precise reading. The optional strap (sold separately) is for measuring hip strength. Read a brief article on the dynamometer, and watch a video of the dynamometer being used.
